Florida SNOW REPORT

SNOWPACK DISTRIBUTION

QUICK STATS

RECENT SNOWFALL TOTALS

Florida is a state known for its warm climate and sandy beaches, but it does not typically experience snowfall. Due to its location in the southeastern United States, snow is a rare occurrence in Florida. The state lacks major mountain ranges that could provide snow for its residents. With no significant snowpack, there are no corresponding runoff rivers or watersheds specifically dedicated to snowmelt. Winter climate characteristics in Florida are generally mild, with temperatures rarely dropping below freezing. The state's lowest recorded temperature was 2 degrees Fahrenheit in Tallahassee on February 13, 1899. Snow science and history in Florida are minimal due to the lack of snowfall. While occasional flurries may be reported in parts of northern Florida during rare cold snaps, snow accumulation is extremely rare, making it an uncommon and fascinating event for Floridians to experience.




Storm Forecast

Residents in the state of Florida, please take note of urgent flood warnings affecting our neighboring Georgia river areas which may also impact communities along the Florida-Georgia border. The National Weather Service in Jacksonville, FL, has extended flood warnings indicating minor flooding is forecasted for the Satilla River at Atkinson. This rise in water levels is expected to occur just after midnight and is set to continue rising to 13.6 feet by Saturday evening, with potential additional rises thereafter. This could result in Warners Landing, Louis Landing, and secondary roads around KOA campgrounds beginning to flood. River Rock Road may also see flooding. Please monitor updates and be prepared for possible water-related disruptions.

Additionally, there is ongoing minor flooding along the Altamaha River at Baxley, which is expected to persist for some time. While this warning directly impacts counties in Georgia, Florida residents near the border, especially those in northern areas, should stay vigilant as water flows naturally do not adhere to state lines and can affect nearby regions. Flooding of agricultural and timber lands is occurring, and areas such as Deens Landing and Linton Carter Landing's boat ramps, picnic areas, and parking lots are beginning to flood. These conditions might not only disrupt outdoor activities but could also pose risks to property and travel. Please be cautious if you're planning to travel to or through these areas and keep abreast of the latest weather service warnings at http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood. Let's stay safe by respecting the power of nature and keeping informed.
